American Idol

I was reminded tonight on why I wait until the try outs are over to watch American Idol. The auditions are PAINFUL!!!! Tonight was no different. There were a handful of really good people that made it through. There was one guy who literally begged his way through. I think that was the judges one pity vote. He won't survive round
1.

Seriously, what makes these people think they can 1. sing well and 2. that their "props" are appropriate. Are they just hoping to get noticed on t.v. for a minute? A guy goes on dressed in yellow with a banana and sings about a banana...what was he thinking?

Another guy compares himself to Josh Groban....that I think is one of the 7 deadly sins because he was NO Josh Groban. Do these people not have at least one good friend or family member that can be honest with them. If I hear I have been singing since I was 3 one more time, I may throw the remote through the t.v. Just because you have been singing for a long time does not mean you ever had talent. Are there people around when you sing? Does the dog sing with you? Come on people...get a clue!

And STOP SINGING OVER THE RAINBOW!!!! IT'S SO OVER DONE!!!

Now the highlights for me were Jason Castro's brother Michael. He is not as cute as Jason, but he can sing. I do think he smokes a lot of pot with his brother, but he really can sing.

The guy who recently lost his wife was really good! And there were a couple others that were impressive. I really want Anoop to make it a couple rounds, just because of his name. He wasn't too bad either.

I'm excited for auditions to be over, so we can see the ones who can actually sing!
